Rain

Woke up to much needed rain on Thursday morning. Stopped by 9 , and fairly warm. Eileen and I headed for Robert and Linda's campsite in Ocalla National Forest. Eileen drove and I navigated. Three hours later we arrived . Did miss a turn but refuse to admit it was my fault. The highway was under construction and the signs pointing to #19 were not there. Went a block too far and Eileen seen the signs for "south " and she did a u turn and headed north. . Lovely drive once we got off the main highway. Checked out the site I will be setting up at, on Feb. 25th. good spot and really nice camp. Robert and Linda treated us to lunch at the little cafe just outside the trailer camp . Very reasonable price and good food. We walked around part of the camp after. Seen the hot tub and 2 swimming pools and nice lakefront as well. Sure I will enjoy my time there. Left for home about 4 , ran into rain again, home at 7. Busy day , was nice to have Eileen drive in her car, (Better milage than the van)and I got to look around and enjoy the scenery. Bonus, now I know the way to go when I travel up there by myself..
Dull out today but warm and no rain. so far.
Have to go to Sebring today, need a sympathy card to send to aunt Pearl. Her son Johnny, from Owen Sound , died of heart attack yesterday. He was 52. Leaves a wife and 2 daughters.
June and Butch are flying home for the funeral on Monday.

Are you planning on staying in the park for the rest of the winter? I might have to pop down there for a visit. Where is the nearest airport?
